(2) 4-6 Translated by Jane Springer. Early-seventeenth-century orphans Manu (Manuela, disguised as a boy for safety) and "his" older brother Bento abandon their Portuguese village for Lisbon. Bento is unjustly imprisoned and sentenced to exile in Brazil; Manu accompanies him. Meanwhile, African boy Odjidi and his family are sold into slavery in Brazil. The fast-moving adventure and authentic glimpse of Brazil's early settlers recommend this to young readers.
